[Video] Thief PvP, WvW (sPvP vid inc)
Thank you for showing me that I need to get better.
I especially appreciate that I saw many times you had no/little Orb bonus.
Haha, yeah, at the time of filming this, I wasn’t even aware of the altar of power buffs. Who needs ’em anyway, takes too much time/effort long to get more, I could be scoring more kills/badges instead!
Any chance of a link to that build?

Yeah:
There are lots of variations to my p/d setup, depending on situation.
I swap out the 3rd skill slot for various things, usually the shadow refuge/ice drake venom for sPvP and Signet of Shadows for wPvP. Those aren’t set in stone, and I haven’t been able to find any 3rd skills that I was completely satisfied with.
I also like to swap out 10 pts from deadly into shadow for venom share in 5v5 tourneys.
EDIT: This build isn’t for everyone – it’s not as easily learned as d/d heartseek/blossom spam and not as straightforward as pistol whip burst. But this, and my next video, will be a showcase of what a primarily ranged Thief is capable of.
EDIT EDIT: LOL@downvotes with no comments. Must be people who got killed in the video. Or, people who hate Blue Stahli, Central ARC, Sonic Mayhem.
I don’t quite see how this belongs more in fan-generated content more than the pvp section… I mean, the video SHOWS how to play PvP, what it looks and sounds like? In great detail? I even link my build in the replies?
And the overwhelming majority of its content is your game? How is any of that fan-generated, aside from the editing/transitions?
I humbly request that this be moved back to the pvp section (aka players helping players).
Getting a bad link msg :P
Also what type of stats are on your armour? you using the whispers set or will you be going for the WvW honour badges set with the runes?

Getting a bad link msg :P
Yeah, this forum is weird. Copy/pasting the link works, but clicking on it url_encodes it, among other weird things. Anyway, I added it to youtube, so you can always copy/paste it from the video’s description.
Fix your forum anet!
So, kind of a cool story bros.
I’ve been mostly trying to farm badges to replace some of my green gear. Funny enough, I’m running into plenty of 1v3+ type footage no matter what I do. I suppose you can thank Henge of Denravi and its bandwagoning team stackers for having 5 hrs queues even at night. Why don’t some of them transfer to other servers? I don’t get it either…
Anyway, 2nd wpvp vid just might get released real soon, depending on how many more zerglings I have to take out, Rambo-style, to get my badges.
Gear wise im thing of going for the Whispering set from Orr and runeing it with Krait and grenth runes. And for my trinkets maybe some pow/vit/tough for the extra lasting power. What you think?
Excellent video, Slic. I love the P/D setup, Dagger #5 is such a good skill to get Sneak Attack rolling. You use it very well.
Hope to see more stuff coming!

Slic,
For some reason GW2Skills.net just refuses to load for me anymore. Any chance of seeing your concepts in a different builder?
